Format:DVD
I thought that this film would perhaps never be as good as Eminem's 8 Mile film but 50 cent's acting ability is surprisingly better than i expected. Its a decent storyline which kind of outlines his life but only loosely as Marcus (50 cent) sells drugs on the street and works with Majestic who won't let him go when Marcus decides to turn to rapping. Anyway, this is worth a look i think, if you really want a great gangster film though, then Training Day is the best of them all.

Format:DVD
A fine critique of the lower echelons of modern 21st century American society, and the actualities of the gangsta lifestyle. Personally I would say that the highlights of the film are to be found in the scene in which Majestik expounds the rules of the ghetto code, an episode almost disturbing for its acuity in the portrayal of the problems which underlie black criminal subculture in many American cities. Additionally the 'in medias res' approach adopted for the opening of the film hurtles us into a narrative which does not fail to lose its momentum right up to the crescendo of the final showdown between Majestik and Fifty. Finally, the Shawshank-esque redemption in incarceration, with its overtones of the life of Malcolm X and the connotations this has for the story of Fifty as a whole, was in my opinion intelligently and sensitively handled, where in other similar films something has certainly been left wanting.
A veritable tour de force; a thoroughly worthwhile purchase.
Right on Fiddy.

Wrong Region
Can't play DVD as Region is surprisingly not compatible (US). Therefore, turned out to be a waste of money.

Great, as long as you don't expect too much
Obviously quite exaggerated to enhance Fifty's image but nonetheless an interesting story with a great soundtrack

if you liked 8 mile you should check this out. Prepare to be surprised at the acting ability, 50 himself is no where near bad as he heads a decent cast; an engulfing plot with real... Read more

Lame
50 can't act..this "sory" about his "ghetto" life is BS. Rappers should stick to smoking and rapping and leave the acting to the pros.
